Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Career-best game in Miami
Rotowire
Vukcevic logged 28 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block across 39 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-118 victory over the Heat.
The double-double was the first of his career, while the 28 points were also a personal best for Vukcevic, topping the 24 points he produced Wednesday against the Sixers. The second-year center saw plenty of run to close out the season, and over his last 10 appearances he averaged 14.7 points, 5.1 boards, 1.5 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 blocks in 23.3 minutes a contest.

Rotowire
Vukcevic finished with 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Friday's 119-89 loss to Chicago.
Vukcevic was Washington's leading bench scorer during Friday's blowout loss and has now tallied double-digit points in back-to-back contests. Vukcevic has shown the potential to be a floor-spacing center, as he's shooting 35.4 percent on 2.8 three-point attempts per contest this season.

Rotowire
Vukcevic recorded 24 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT) and six rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to Philadelphia.
The 2023 second-rounder produced 24 points in 24 minutes of court time, leading the Wizards in scoring off the bench Wednesday. Vukcevic looks to be in line to share the center minutes with Alex Sarr to wrap up the 2024-25 season. Over his last nine outings, Vukcevic has averaged 12.8 points, 4.6 rebounds,1.0 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Scores 14 points off bench
Rotowire
Vukcevic chipped in 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Monday's 120-94 loss to the Heat.
Vukcevic made the most of his minutes in this 26-point loss and posted another double-digit scoring effort, making it the seventh time he has done it in 10 games since the beginning of March. Over that stretch, which includes a start in the loss to the Jazz on March 19, Vukcevic is averaging 12.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 20.3 minutes per game. He's an intriguing name to watch on the waiver wire of most leagues due to his ability to produce solid numbers in limited minutes.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Provides lift off bench in victory
Rotowire
Vukcevic chipped in 17 points (7-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 victory over the 76ers.
Vukcevic led the way off the bench for Washington in Wednesday's contest, leading all bench players in scoring and rebounds in just north of 20 minutes on the second unit. Vukcevic has recorded 15 or more points on six occasions this season, five of which have occurred while coming off the bench.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Makes presence felt off bench
Rotowire
Vukcevic produced 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Magic.
Vukcevic returned to his regular bench role after starting in the loss to Utah on Wednesday, but the change in role didn't affect his production. This was the third straight game in which he reached the 17-point plateau, and the big man could carve a nice role in the rotation ahead of the final weeks of the regular season, especially if the Wizards decide to give some more rest to the likes of Alex Sarr and even Richaun Holmes. Vukcevic is playing on a two-way deal but has made only 24 appearances at the NBA level, so he won't face the limitations other two-way players might have in the final weeks of the regular season.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Efficient 17 points in start
Rotowire
Vukcevic had 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and two blocks over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to Utah.
Making his first start of the season and the fifth of his career, Vukcevic scored 17 points in his second straight game and swatted a team-high two shots. The rebuilding Wizards opted to give the Vukcevic a look in the first unit amid a losing season late in 2023-24 as well, so there's reason to believe the second-year big man can stick with the starters going forward to finish 2024-25. Dating back to last year, Vukcevic has averaged 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes over five career starting appearances.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: First start of season Wednesday
Rotowire
Vukcevic is starting Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
It'll be the first start of the season for the second-year big man, who will be making his fifth career appearance in the first unit. Over his last three outings, Vukcevic has averaged 13.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 22.3 minutes.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Pours in 17 points
Rotowire
Vukcevic provided 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Vukcevic finished one point shy of his season-best mark (18) in the loss. The Wizards were shorthanded Monday, and they rolled with an 11-man rotation while pulling Khris Middleton and Jordan Poole at halftime. Meanwhile, Richaun Holmes never saw the floor. This could be an indication that Vukcevic is going to get an extended look in the final weeks.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Vukcevic recorded 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.
With Richaun Holmes (knee) sitting out Monday, Vukcevic re-entered the rotation as the top backup to Alex Sarr. Vukcevic saw some overlap in playing time with Sarr (30 minutes) and came through with a well-rounded stat line, albeit with poor efficiency. If Holmes is back in action for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, however, Vukcevic would likely see his playing time take a hit, and he could drop out of the rotation entirely.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Makes most of bench minutes
Rotowire
Vukcevic racked up 12 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 110-90 loss to the Magic.
Vukcevic hasn't been the most consistent performer off the bench for the Wizards, but he's found a way to score in double digits in three of his last seven appearances. Both his role and the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limit his upside considerably, so Vukcevic shouldn't be anything more than a streaming option in deep formats throughout the rest of the fantasy season.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Standout showing off bench
Rotowire
Vukcevic ended with 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 131-121 loss to the Spurs.
Although Vukcevic fell a lone point shy of his career high, he was still able to establish a new season high Monday. The rebuilding Wizards have been rolling with veteran Richaun Holmes as their starting center in the absence of rookie first-rounder Alex Sarr (ankle), but Vukcevic will remain a candidate for increased playing time down the stretch of the campaign. The 2023 second-rounder has averaged 9.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 threes in 14.0 minutes while shooting 53.2 percent from the field across his last seven contests.

Vukcevic will end a five-game absence Thursday due to an ankle sprain, but there's no guarantee he'll see the floor for the Wizards against Phoenix. With Marvin Bagley (knee) sidelined, Washington will likely lean on Alexandre Sarr in the starting lineup and Jonas Valanciunas from the second unit.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Nursing ankle sprain
Rotowire
Vukcevic (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Vukcevic is nursing a right ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to suit up arrives during the second leg of Washington's back-to-back Wednesday against Philadelphia. Alexandre Sarr and Jonas Valanciunas should play the bulk of the center minutes Tuesday, and Anthony Gill could take on a handful of minutes off the bench in Vukcevic's absence.
